Apple Denies Favouring ChatGPT After Partnership Claims, Rejects Elon Musk’s Allegation that App Store Hinders Rivals

Elon Musk alleges Apple’s App Store rankings favor OpenAI’s ChatGPT, plans to sue for antitrust violations as Grok ranks 13th and X is 130th in Australia, sources say.

  • Late Monday, Elon Musk claimed he would take 'immediate legal action' over alleged favoritism toward ChatGPT in the Apple App Store.
  • In recent years, the company has faced multiple antitrust allegations, including EU fines of nearly $2 billion and legal scrutiny in court cases.
  • On Tuesday, rankings showed ChatGPT in seventh place and Grok fifth overall and second in Productivity, despite being free.
  • In response to Musk’s accusations, Apple defended the fairness of its App Store, telling Bloomberg its platform “is designed to be fair and free of bias” and aims to offer “safe discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers.”
  • Despite Musk’s threats, no lawsuit was filed today, and apps like DeepSeek and Perplexity now top the App Store, challenging his claims.
